Dr. Casscells is terrific. He really listens to my concerns and explains options. He answered every question I had. I have a complex set of foot problems and he explained their interactions especially between my feet and knees. He is concerned and caring. Before

I went to the appointment to get advice on how to avoid having the same problem, even I was not feeling pain. My impression was that the doctor wanted to leave the room as soon as possible. I feel like I have to make an effort to make the doctor stay in the room.
